da Vinci® Surgical System at Northwest Hospital

The da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to traditional open surgery and laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform.

The da Vinci system has been used for a variety of minimally invasive procedures, including treatment for gynecologic and prostate conditions. It enables surgeons to perform complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions.

How does da Vinci work?

Surgeons use the da Vinci system to make tiny, 1-2 cm incisions and operate with incredible precision and control.
